Fair use rationale for Image:ST-VOY 7 10.jpg

Image:ST-VOY 7 10.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 09:35, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

'Confusing' warning

I added the confusing warning box thing. I'd clear it up myself but it is muy overwhelming. And isn't it supposed to be a two-parter anyway? Very confusing.

Whatever happened to the 'Predator'y lust?!??!

While Hunters, the episode that introduced the Hirogen is, in my eternally-humble opinion, one of the greatest, if not the best ever, Voyager episode, this has got to be one of the worst. I was, again, when I first saw the Hirogen, struck by the their many similarities to the Predators. But those similarities ended here. The Predators would never hunt false prey. They would consider the very suggestion insulting. RedVengeanceIII 18:05, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this page redirecting?

Why has this entry been deleted and replaced with a redirect back to the list of episodes? This creates a loop when trying to view the episode summery. I'm going to revert it back to a version with content unless someone has a good reason to change it, and even then don't just make it a redirect. If nothing else, leave the page empty so someone knows to put content there. GenkoKitsu (talk) 18:56, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I redirected the article to the most appropriate encyclopedic article that it pertained to. The article as it was since July 2007, proffered no evidence of notability as required by the general notability and specific episodic guidelines. If you have such to add to the article, by all means please do. Otherwise, I'll just replace the redirection to the apropos list of episodes. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 02:00, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever, that entry has more information then the imdb.com entry. I was simply trying to save any others from the same irritation I found when I was attempting to locate a given episode. Creating an endless loop by redirecting the link back to the page it's on is ineffective at best. I still hold that a stub is better then a loop. GenkoKitsu (talk) 05:15, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that you're more perturbed by that fact that the link is cyclic than the loss of the "article" itself. That's easy enough to rectify, just remove the wikilink at List of Star Trek: Voyager episodes#Season 7: (2000-2001) and it won't do it anymore. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 14:28, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

expansion?

Platypus222 (talk · contribs) reverted the redirection of this page claiming that "literally every other voyager episode is notable enough to have a page; I think we'll be ok with this one". This article has no evidence of having received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject, which is the notability guideline as read at Wikipedia:Notability. That there are other episodic articles of Star Trek: Voyager that don't meet the guidelines doesn't mean that this one should too. That sounds like an argument for cleanup of other articles, not the retention of this one.

That being said, if this user or another has plans, expectations, or the capacity to expand this article to meet the notability criteria with an article consisting of more than plot, I'll leave the article as is (duly tagged) in such a hope. Failing that, I would redirect again to its pertinent article. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 05:50, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

maintenance tag v. AfD processing

Wizardman (talk · contribs) has twice removed the {{notability}} tag from this article, suggesting instead I should nominate it for deletion [1]. Ultimately, deletion isn't as optimal as redirection, but that's been reverted before in favour of retaining the maintenance tags for improvement. As detailed many times in this article's history as well as this very talk page, this article has no evidence of receiving significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject and is wholly constitutive of plot. As such, I submit that the following three options are available to us:

The article can remain stagnant as is, tagged appropriately ({{notability}}, {{plot}}), in the earnest hope/expectation contributors may find suitable reliable sources and real-world information to bring this article up to snuff.
This page can redirect to List of Star Trek: Voyager episodes#Season 7: (2000-2001), the LOE in which this television episode's plot and specs are otherwise best suited.
This article can be brought to WP:AfD per suggestion and either (a) deleted, and re-created as the aforementioned redirect, or (b) left in the conditions detailed in #1 or #2.

I'm partial to number two, as I don't anticipate (but would certainly welcome!) the requisite expansion, and it maintains the page's history in the event such expansion is feasible. Thoughts and input? — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 17:49, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Given the stark lack of input across the board, I'm being bold and re-vying for option two as detailed above. If you disagree with this at a later point, please feel free to bring it up here. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 16:04, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blooper Discovered

I was watching the DVD and at 9:11 while Tuvok is flanking the panicing Hirogen, for about 2-3 seconds you will see a arm of one of the film crew. He is wearing a light blue short sleeved shirt, blue jeans and it looks like he has a wrist watch on but I wasn't able to make it out clearly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zinthose (talk • contribs) 22:32, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
